Office of Student Affairs

Student Fee Advisory Committee

The Student Fee Advisory Committee is established pursuant to Texas Education Code 54.5031 & 54.5033 and is comprised of students appointed by the Student Government Association and
faculty/staff appointed by the President.

The SFAC's chief responsibility is to advise the president and administration of UT
Tyler on the type, amount and expenditure of compulsory fees for student services
collected under Section 54.503 of the Texas Education Code. The SFAC typically meets
in the spring semester to determine recommendations for the following fiscal year.
On the occasion that additional funds are available for allocation as determined by
the Budget Office, the SFAC may convene to address one-time or recurring funding requests
from departments across campus already receiving student service fees. All requests
must be submitted through the appropriate Vice President, Chief Student Affairs Officer
and the Associate Vice President for Business Affairs and must be submitted via the
budget report tool maintained by Student Affairs.
